Surfing with Helen Bates - March 1st., 005 - Togei Fujiwara and
LeachTreadle Wheel

Hello,

I think there was talk on the list of Togei Fujiwara back in December.
Here is a Japanese language site for him, and a translation url.

Togei Fujiwara
http://www.city.okayama.okayama.jp/museum/togei-fujiwara/index2.html
and World Lingo machine translation:

Also, a while back, there were some posts about treadle wheels and/or
the Leach wheel, so I collected a few sites with information or images
or diagrams of this type of wheel.

Randy Smith:

(treadle plans and instructions)

Lloyd Cledwyn:
http://www.llpots.com/treadle/
and:

(A combination of images and transcribed text from a set of treadle
plans and instructions that were originally downloaded from Randy
Smith's website.)
